Recommend me a new phone.

My N95 8gb has bitten the dust. The screen has cracked for the second time and I cannae be arsed to faff around fixing it again, plus it's just an added expense to fork out for a new screen because it's not covered by the warranty.

I've looked into iPhone's, but as it's limited to O2 and there's no cashback deals about (needed to pay off my existing contract) then it's a no go really. There's plenty of decent phones about by the looks of things, but I don't know what's good and what's not.

Looking for something with minimum 3 inch screen, must have WiFi and preferably GPS as well.

Touch screen?

[Samdy Gray]

Doesn't have to be, but I wouldn't mind it.

Have you tried BlackBerrys?  The new Curve is worth a look slightly more on contract but it comes with Wi-Fi and GPS built in and the push email is top bombing.

Camera and multi-media is not as hot as the iPhone but overall they're a great device and the battery life is exceptional.

Do you want to be on a specific network? HTC phones are supposed to be pretty good. Most of them have big screens and also support top notch web-browsing including Wi-Fi.

The features are definitely what I'm after, but I can't help but think it's a really ugly phone.

As long as it's not T-Mobile of 3 then no, not really bothered. Had an HTC before and liked it, but I'm not a fan of the Windows Mobile OS, although I've only ever used up to WM5. Not sure what WM6.1 is like.

What sort of features are more important? Or do you want a snazzy all rounder?

[Samdy Gray]

WiFi and large screen are the only "must".

[Samdy Gray]

Hmm.. just found that if I replace the screen on my phone (£50) I can then get £140 for it through those mobile recycling sites leaving me with £90 which'll pay off my contract. So the iPhone could be a goer.

Get an iphone. I don't have one but it seems if you don't mind about not having a great camera and taking videos then it seems the best option.

[Samdy Gray]

Had a play with an iPhone at lunch, think I'll be going back to make a purchase tomorrow.
